This is a blog about a not-so-normal, little bit weird family. Other blogs about food, gardens, flowers, kids, and crafts are slick, with perfect pictures and perfect kids. This one is not. My kids smell funny. Our food looks slapped together and you can probably pronounce all the ingredients. My garden is half-assed, and my photos are taken with the cheapest camera I could find. Enjoy!

Queen of the Sun

I am taking myself on a date and going to see this independent film tonight: Queen of the Sun

It is only in my city for a week, and it's so timely it's a little bit... mystical? I am suddenly so obsessed with bees, and dream about bees, and go and watch my bees like a creepo, and trying to learn all I can about bees and the culture around caring for them. So, you can't even grasp my excitement that this movie has been made and I get to go see it and ALSO drink a beer while I'm there.

Mostly, I am intrigued by the woman who dances covered in bees. Not sure I'm at that level yet. I probably need to do more drugs and move somewhere more conducive to New Age lifestyles like Arizona or Vermont.

And besides, who would *not* go see a movie with an awesomely weird half-naked French guy who likes to brush his bees with his mustache?? I mean, honestly.

I did not take this photo. As I did not travel to France and track him down and say HEY GUY! Show me your hives and let me photograph you with my cameraphone! But then again.... maybe I did.

Sure thing! I meant to post about it, then I got wrapped up in the filter project. Haha! But it was an amazing movie and definitely want to see it again. I will take some time to write it down tomorrow - especially since there is a lot I don't want to forget.
